It was fucking perfect for a second.
Passion is always dying, see? That’s its charm. That’s why it’s addictive and that’s why it chose us. The Ashes we are: we, who are also always burning up, dying so wonderfully, consumed by flames of desire and woe. We are so sad and beautiful, aren’t we? What a wake we’ve got going here on our planet.
Fire-fans in the two performers’ hands are hot on my face even though I cannot see them – I feel them, I smell the fuel. Melsha and Sally. They are both dark beauties, gothic and gorgeous. Sally says backstage later, “There’s nothing about me that hasn’t been ripped or broken.” I like her immediately. But right now I try to see through the cowl of my cassock the two lithe female forms, ghosts of my imagination, moving through my journey to passionate death… fire leaping from their fingers. Zasta and I are giving the two women pulse and rhythm and they, in turn, become fucking perfect for one burning moment. (will have a vid soon, but for now here’s a pic below) I can honestly say, I’m happy.

I’m not happy at all. Fuck.
The only thing I know about the launch for sure is that TGON is going to perform the record and there’s some Fetish Acrobats that are interested in performing too. The latter concerns me only in its execution. The concept – a guy rigging up a girl to a pulley system and she basically flies above the stage in a sort of bondage dance – I like. [Read more →]

Today makes the second time I’m reading an insipid review on my record by someone who is clearly not a music critic but just a moron with attention deficit syndrome. Now, first let me establish something…
If you’re a critic and hate the music – I have no problem with this… go ahead. Seriously, if most people loved it (and I think I’ve been pretty clear how I feel about most people) I’d shoot myself for sure. Like one of my favorite pretend writers says, “I hate you all.”
However, this isn’t the problem that is so evident with these “critiques”. The problem is, THE FUCKERS CLEARLY DIDN’T LISTEN TO THE GODDAMN RECORD. They didn’t even read the lyrics!
Come on, a real music critic wouldn’t just read the PR firm’s tear sheet and then do a review based on that and song titles, would they? Maybe I’m being too optimistic about alleged music lovers. But really, to have to say the number one rule of a music critic: Put the fucking record on! Jesus Christos! It’s their job! They’re supposed to listen to it from beginning to end and make an informed judgment on it. The key word there is “informed”. Know what you’re listening to. If you don’t, find out. Don’t like doing that? THEN DON’T BE A GODDAMN MUSIC CRITIC.
But that’s the problem isn’t it? Most of us are all jerks, lazy and just plain narrow-minded. We don’t want to be good at something – we just want to get it over with. [Read more →]

We’ve been spending a lot of time in the studio lately, working on the album, sipping on JD and all (you know… rock’n'roll is hard work!), and the album is almost there! We’re working on te album cover too (which, I have a feeling will kick some serious ass)
We haven’t decided on a specific date for the launch yet, but of course we’ll keep you posted.
Also, we got many shows booked! So yes that means we’ll have to take Schrecker out of his cage. Here’s the list (more to come):
- Bar St-Laurent 2 Montreal, Quebec (5 Jun 2008 21:00 )
- Heavy Metal Music Association of Canada/NXNE at the Funhaus Toronto, Ontario (14 Jun 2008 20:00, 526, Queen Street W., Toronto, Ont.) YOU GOTTA BE THERE! :)
- Cabaret Playhouse Montreal, Quebec (20 Jun 2008 21:00)
- Le Tremplin Sherbrooke, Quebec (23 Aug 2008 20:00)
- Bar St-Laurent 2 Montreal, Quebec (29 Aug 2008 20:00)
Check our MySpace too!
Oh and we also have a photo shoot next week, if you click on the image below you’ll see what came out of the previous one (we’ve been thinking of doing a movie, and that’d be the promo poster. Not sure though, so comments are definitely welcome! :) ) ↓
